Laparoscopic Versus Robotic Lateral Transabdominal Adrenalectomy

Description

This study is being done to compare Laparoscopic vs Robotic lateral transabdominal adrenalectomy, these procedures are both standard of care. The study team would like to compare both patient outcomes and surgeon efficiency and perspectives among both procedures. The information from this study will help improve patient care, patient outcomes and maximize the appropriate utilization of resources in adrenal surgery.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. Men and women between ages 18 and 75
  • 2. Diagnosis of an adrenal tumor/pathology planned for a minimally invasive adrenalectomy at the department of endocrine surgery at the Cleveland Clinic.
  • 1. Requirement for an open adrenalectomy based on imaging studies suggesting an aggressive cancer.
  • 2. The presence of extensive surgical history precluding a minimally invasive approach to be undertaken.
  • 3. Patients planned for a partial, rather than a complete adrenalectomy, as the former is a much easier procedure.
  • 4. Patients planned for a posterior adrenalectomy (these would be patients with an extensive surgical history with significant intra-abdominal adhesions and those requiring bilateral adrenalectomy).
  • 5. Mental incapacity or language barrier
  • 6. Any condition, unwillingness, or inability, not covered by any of the other exclusion criteria, which, in the study clinician's opinion, might jeopardize the subject's safety or compliance with the protocol
